Sherwood Flooring Perth

Your timber floor is moving. And that’s not a problem.

Most disputes between owners, builders and floor contractors come from the same place — confusing natural timber behaviour with a workmanship fault.

Per the Australian Timber Flooring Association, here’s what’s actually normal:

✓ Average 0.75mm gap across an 80mm board in dry conditions
✓ Light squeaking, especially in dry weather
✓ Fine swirl marks visible only under downlights
✓ Slight cupping in sun-exposed areas

What’s NOT normal — and what we’d actually need to fix:

✗ Persistent squeaking in main walkways
✗ Coating delamination
✗ Peaking, tenting, or buckling
✗ Wide irregular gaps from edge-bonding

Save this for the next time someone debates your floor.

📩 DM us a photo of your floor and we’ll tell you whether what you’re seeing is a defect or just timber being timber.

Restoring the sophistication one step at a time ….

Preserving the heritage, one floor board at a time!
